You all know me and Tea Rooms. I would be remiss to travel and not visit a new one. Dobra Tea is by far the most interesting one I have been to. It has a long history dating back to Prague and the final years of communism. It spread to the United States in 2003 and to Asheville in 2010.

They have the most interesting service. After you seat yourself, a Hostess comes to your table with a literal "book" for your menu and a little bell. The book gives you the history of the tea room, directions on how to choose your tea and how it is served, descriptions of the various teas and the countries they hail from as well as a sweet & savory menu. When you are ready to order, you just ring your bell. You can see the bell on the table to the left.

I enjoyed the food and the truffle. My favorite was the Turkish Tea in it's dainty glass cup. The Turkish Tea Pot was so big that I had to ask for the rest "to-go". Tea is, of course, something to linger over...unless the meter on the curb by your car three blocks away is about to run out!

My sister says my home page winter photo from St Croix River Inn needs to be changed for the season to something that looks more like Spring. Since I have not had the opportunity to take a photo of myself outside a B&B in the Spring, I am adding a recent Tea Room Photo to the home page. Thanks, Sis!

Have you ever found yourself driving along through your everyday life...nothing is out of the ordinary... then out of nowhere comes a sign...that makes you jerk your head and go "HUH? Did I just read that right?"

Well, take a look at the photo and you will see why Rachel and I did a double take...or was it a triple?????

Yep, you read that correctly..."BBQ and Tea Room"!

Well, being my Father's Daughter...I walked in the front door, looked around for an employee and said, "I just came in to see what a bar-b-que tea room looked like."

"Moments-in-thyme Tea Room" is a "country" tea room with an international flavor located in a separate room inside of the Bar-b-que restaurant. They serve a variety of tea time treats with a more hearty lunch option. The soups change daily and you had best call ahead if you want to be sure the chicken salad is on the menu. Reservations are not required but come highly recommended. 706-820-3111

No, fellas! You may not eat your bar-b-que sandwich on the lace covered tables in the Tea Room! You may eat your bar-b-que sandwich on the red-checkered covered tables in the bar-b-que restaurant area. Thank you!

So, if you are looking for something new and different to try out...Come on down to Flintstone, GA and try out the "Bar-b-Que or the Tea Room!" Two distinctly different flavors but all under one roof!
